So … I guess this means UL-Monroe is the Florida of losing? Or is Florida the UL-Monroe of winning?

– What does Mark Richt know about oversigning that we don’t? From GTP:

He seems to think rules changes are imminent.

“Almost every year there have been guys in our class in that gray shirt situation. Normally, we say you don’t have to tell anybody, just sign on Signing Day and the chances of you coming in with your class, no one’s going to know the difference, which I don’t think is dishonest with the way things are,” Richt said. “So we’ve signed guys knowing that the class is full and asked if they could come in January, but every time we’ve done that, there’s been a space and they came in with their class.”

But those rules might be about to change.

According to Richt, the SEC and the NCAA is changing the rules “just as rapidly as they can to keep it from happening in the future.”

It’s a little unclear whether he’s referring to oversigning or greyshirting there, but he sure sounds like a man who’s heard something is about to happen. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s right; we’ll get some indication of that from the SEC meetings later this month.

The past 21 years, only two high schools in the country have produced four first-round NFL draft picks. One of the schools is Aliquippa. Pitt receiver Jon Baldwin , a 2008 Aliquippa graduate, was a first-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in last week’s NFL draft. Baldwin is the fourth former Aliquippa player taken in the first round since 1990. The others were Darrelle Revis (2007), Ty Law (1995) and Sean Gilbert (’92).

According to a study by Maxpreps.com, the only other school in the country to have four first-round picks since 1990 is Long Beach Poly, a perennial power in California. . . .

As if producing four first-round picks isn’t impressive enough, consider this: Aliquippa’s high school enrollment is about 270 (grades 9-12). Long Beach Poly with an enrollment of 4,650 is 17 times bigger than Aliquippa.

– It’s the offseason; it’s actual football. One of those clash-of-styles matchups from the Virginia high schoolers; team in purple is a run and shoot, zone read team while the team in red is run-first (some kind of wing offense, not totally sure). They combined for 112 points:

The offense in the last video is what I would term a power wing, a lot of Mckay/Markam principles, tight splits and pulling gyards

I agree with the previous poster.

Aaron B.

Something interesting about the team in red in the last video: the quarterback often becomes a lead blocker after pitching/tossing the ball to a running back.

Team in purple looks to be a spread team… not a run n shoot team…

The crease read for all go should change from front to back depending on whether it is two or one high at safety? Seems like teams with a safety up front will rotate more to the front side of where the back releases, especially robber coverage, at lower levels.
